The personal experience in plastic-reconstructive surgery with 395 cases of sub-vigil anaesthesia (neuroleptanalgesia + benzodiazepine in 124 patients (group A); ketamine + benzodiazepine in 138 patients (group B); neuroleptanalgesia + ketamine + benzodiazepine in 133 patients (group C) is described by the authors in the present study. They conclude that the sub-vigil anaesthesia is usually free from complications and a very safe, tolerable, expedient technique for plastic surgical procedures; furthermore, the result is good patient acceptance, a stable blood pressure and heart rate.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer disabled individuals the means to interact with devices by decoding the electroencephalogram (EEG). However, decoding intent in fine motor tasks can be challenging, especially in stroke survivors with cortical lesions. Here, we attempt to decode graded finger extension from the EEG in stroke patients with left-hand paresis and healthy controls.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.
Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).

To provide proof-of-concept (PoC), dose-range finding, and safety data for BI 1358894, a TRPC4/5 ion channel inhibitor, in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This was a phase 2, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Patients were randomized to oral placebo or BI 1358894 (5 mg, 25 mg, 75 mg, or 125 mg) once daily in a 2.
